As an experiment, and after alot of time on Wikipedia, I'm in the process of trying this.
I tipped a dribble of Coleman Fuel on the bottom of an upturned coffee mug and lit it. It burned beautifully with NO smoke. I tried it with proper Swan lighter fluid and it burned exactly the same but with plenty of smoke.
My Zippo is currently in bits on a radiator drying out so I can try it with pure Coleman fuel. At £6 for 500ml, it's a bit cheaper and alot more convenient if it works... I'll report back in an hour or two.
Just tried it - perfect. Burns exactly like lighter fuel except perhaps even less smoke!
